And Get Your Search Done Right
If you’re a solo practitioner or small team looking for office space in the East Bay, we want to work with you. But we’ve learned that the search goes better — faster, less frustration, and more likely to end with the right space — when both sides show up prepared. Here’s how we work, and what we need from you to make the most of our time.
Schedule an Intake Call — No Phone Tag
Skip the back-and-forth. Book a brief intake call at eastbayoffice.com/contact-us and pick a time that works for you. A scheduled call means we’re both ready when we talk — and the conversation actually moves things forward instead of stalling in an inbox.
We’ll ask about your size requirements, target location, budget, move-in timeline, and what you can’t compromise on. That’s enough for us to tell you, in the same call, whether we have something worth seeing — or whether you should be looking somewhere else.
Returning calls from qualified tenants is something we take seriously. It’s how this practice was built. Give us the basics upfront and we’ll give you a straight answer — no runaround, no delay.

Do Your Homework Before We Connect
Before the call, spend ten minutes with our Space Needs Calculator and browse the Office Boutique listings at eastbayoffice.com/spaces/office-boutique. You’ll get a clearer sense of what’s available in your range — and our conversation will be more useful because of it.
Most listings include floor plans and virtual tours. If something catches your eye, take the tour before we talk. Coming in with a specific suite in mind — or a question about one — sharpens the call and shortens the path to a decision.
If nothing in our inventory fits, we’ll say so — and point you toward quality coworking options, flag listings elsewhere, or refer you to another agent who has exactly what you’re looking for. A useful answer is more valuable than a tour that goes nowhere.
Don’t Ask for a Tour Before We’ve Spoken
Fair enough if that sounds blunt — here’s the reason: we’ve walked people through spaces they weren’t qualified for, weren’t ready to sign, or had a deal-breaker we could have caught in five minutes on the phone. Nobody got anything useful out of those tours.
Talk first, tour second. When you do walk a space with us, it should be one that actually fits — or is close enough to be worth discussing. Come to the call with a budget, a timeline, a preferred lease length, and a couple of references. When tenants are prepared, we can move
quickly.
Why This Matters: The Small Tenant Problem
Small tenants in the East Bay get ignored all the time — not out of bad faith, but simple math.
Brokers earn a percentage of total lease value. A 3-year lease on 10,000 square feet at $4.00/SF produces a commission somewhere between $57,000 and $72,000. The same deal on 1,000 square feet in a Class B office building can net $1,500.
A broker with fifteen calls to return and eight hours to work through them prioritizes the large deals. Most small tenant inquiries — vague, slow to respond, no clear budget — are impossible to distinguish from tire-kickers. They slide to the bottom and often stay there.
Office Boutique exists because that dynamic is broken and fixable. A small tenant who shows up prepared and ready to move gets the same attention as any larger deal we’re working. That’s not a slogan — it’s the only reason we built this platform.
